Question: 

Hello,

Thank you Dorien for your ebook, which is a great asset for the community.

I am trying to make my way through the book, however, I am encountering a problem in chapter 4. I executed all the steps to the end of chapter 4, but I'm not able to get my user profile look like the panel I defined. Am I forgetting something ?

Yes, I don't know why imagecache does that. I think some servers have difficulty with the Imagemagick toolkit.

Enable the GD submodule of imageAPI. And make sure you change the image toolkit configuration to use GD.
